How does he peel off the paper from the resin? Thanks:) Heather ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Rawling Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 7:17 PM To: pinhole-discussion@p at ??????? Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussion] cyanotypes using paper negatives
Hi A friend of mine makes gum, cyanotype and van dyke brown prints with paper negatives by peeling the paper backing off the resin coating. The image attaches to the resin and it very thin. You then need to use a frame to hold it flat during exposure but the exposure times are very reasonable and the prints are beautiful. He also has a mate that works in a hospital who gets him boxes of out of date X-ray duplication film. This stuff is great because you can enlarge 35mm negatives onto 8x10 sheets of this film and end up with large negatives for contact printing. Cheers, Tim >From: "Gordon J.
